This just confirms why I am quitting this game after this season. I have been asking for a seeding process for the cup when it hits the Sweet 16 round since season 17. Here we are in season 36, and Japan will have 2 bots in the round of 8. How fucking stupid is that. Winning the cup should be something that takes skill, not luck. Now two teams will be able to TIE in the next round while the other 6 teams will be going CT unless there is a TIE agreement. This game is done in my eyes. All these people donating money for some dude to have a year long vacation and all we have had was 350 new users. I know you say the money is for advertising, but where are the ads? And where does the supporter money go?
They had their chance to keep more users by merging the Micros....and they didn't do it.

I will end with a funny story. A teacher at my school saw me looking(I can't say playing, you really don't play this game do you) at BB and asked me what game is that. It looks interesting. I said it is a game that will give you more stress than fun. Then he asked me to look at a game replay...then he laughed....where is the basketball ? he asked, it is just a bunch of words on a screen. Now I realize I have been wasting my time on a game that is stuck in 2008.

Same here, I'll board that ship, too. Will use the hours each week I spend in here to get my bass playing skill up from now :)

To everyone: Key players on the list for 1 buck, all matches set with mostly weaker players, a standard tactic and TIE until the end of the season. That excludes the tuesday's match vs. Brutus, it's a goodbye gift for the Nr. 1 ;) I should go bot just before the playoffs. Therefore, I'll get rid off my second team RIYAZAKI MOCKERS as well. As usual when I quit something, I set a password I won't remember. So after logout, I'm off...

As you said... No more wasting time on a game that is stuck in 2008. Cheers...

Season 19 to 36. R.I.P. MIYAZAKI ROCKERS

I hear you. I am tired of them fixing stuff that isn't broken....Who needs court logos? Not me. I need merged micros and seeded cups. Take care and I hope your bass playing gets a lot better.

Hey guys!

Sorry to see Japan waste away - I always followed the country for a bit and hoped to play in this league one day... Well we got Utopia now...

The sun rises in the east - unfortunately it goes down in the west.

Everyone's falling by the wayside. My interest's waning too, and I think even Brutus is sick of this.

No, not sick of it. I'll be around for a while. Just been busy and facing the need to start rebuilding soon while I can still get some value for guys in the market. I do wish we could do something to make it more competitive though. I'm all for the consolidation if they ever decide to go through with it.

What is sad is that you and Brutus can't leave. he donated and you just got re-elected. for myself, I am going to sell off at the end of the cup and put my training on 1 on 1 for Togo and Ezaki. And I am gone.

I can't even remember to set line-ups.
edit: for my team. The U21s are ok.

it's bullshit!!!

Let's take a look:

DMI: I'm not a believer that DMI will tell you everything but I know some people around here believe in it strongly. I think it does give you a general sense of the combination of primaries + GS impact. It is at least a good point of comparison.
Himachies top 5: 1,216,800 464,000 362,800 347,300 161,700
NewStar top 5: 1,292,500 806,000 484,600 410,500 173,400

Let's compare two more things for the same 5 guys in the same order.

Salary:
Himachies: $191,456 $81,559 $94,255 $62,264 $16,955
NewStar: $87,828 $44,989 $82,165 $43,186 $19,841

Game Shape:
Himachies: 7 7 5 7 8
NewStar: 9 9 7 8 8

Assuming that higher salary is an indication of higher skills, New star has offset Himachies skill advantage by having better Game Shapes to gain a small DMI advantage.

Then add to that a couple other factors.
- New Star was the home team so gets home court advantage
- New Star put more effort into the game giving them a little more advantage
- New Star picked wrong on both Game Day Prep items. which would offset the above to some extent.

So, this outcome doesn't seem wrong at all. You made two mistakes. 1) Letting your game shape slip and 2) Not recognizing your were coming in weak and assumed you would win automatically, letting him put in more effort.

Thanks Brutus but i already knew them. Despite everything, there is a big difference between the two teams. I was shocked when I saw the result. :)
